Are there any boat ramps open on the northern end of the lake? All the pics I have seen everything is flooded.

I read a CoE report that Cumberland Point was still open. The report stated that although the water is extremely high you could launch from the parking lot. You may want to check with them before you go to be sure. The report stated that it may be months before water levels return to normal (depends on additional rainfall).
Yes, as a matter of fact, I do have a retirement plan...FISHING!
Thanks so much
I usually fish in fishing creek never been to Cumberland point. I cant help but wander how this high water will affect the crappie fishing season. I am guessing that it will be very different. Any input would be nice. I am still learning.
It could be boom or bust for this year's Crappie spawn, depending on when the water temps get right. If still flooded and not being drawn down fast, it could be a boom .... if the water is being drawn down fast at that time, it could be delayed or not occur at all. And if it's in progress and the water levels are dropped quickly, it could be a total bust (leaving the eggs/nest high and dry or open to Bluegill predation).

I have not heard anything about the Slate Branch ramp. You may be able to launch there. If so, you would be in Fishing Creek. All we can do is hope that the water is fairly stable when the temps get right. With high water levels in all of the river systems, seems likely that it will take some time to draw all of the lakes down, just my .

If it doesn't rain it would take at least 30 days to get it down to summer pool
Wouldn't surprise me if t was June or July befor it gets own
It was abounded today that Waitsboro would be be closed thus summer
People are using the ramp at Slate Branch. Actually, they are unloading off of the road that leads directly down to the ramp. There have been boats putting in here on this ramp every day since Sunday. Even had a couple of pontoon boats today. Don't know what they are fishing for. The water is still very muddy and filled with debris.

Lake Cumberland is currently dropping about a half a foot a day. Barring another monsoon event like we had recently, it's possible that they lake could be down to summer pool level by the end of March. Of course, there's bound to be more big rains coming, particularly given the rain history we've already gone through in 2019.
